Renowned chef Jose Andres, founder of World Central Kitchen, has recently captivated audiences with his new series on Spanish cuisine, which aired on CNN.

As a chef dedicated to feeding victims of natural disasters worldwide, Andres has gained significant recognition for his philanthropic efforts.

Just last month, he released his highly anticipated cookbook, “The World Central Kitchen,” featuring contributions from numerous celebrities and well-known chefs, including Michelle Obama and Emeril Lagasse, among others.

Notably, Meghan Markle’s famous lemon cake has also been prominently featured.

The cookbook showcases an array of delectable recipes from these contributors.

For instance, Brooke Shields shares her mouthwatering carrot farrow salad, while Emeril Lagasse presents his flavorful gumboza herbs.

Ayesha Curry contributes her delectable chicken parmesan, and Marcus Summelson offers his tantalizing spiced catfish sandwiches.

Michelle Obama’s breakfast tacos make an appearance, and Meghan Markle’s lemon olive oil cake stands out as a unique addition.

Interestingly, Meghan is the only contributor, apart from Michelle Obama, who is listed with a simple “Mrs.” instead of her first name.

This distinction has sparked speculation that Meghan personally wrote her recipe and deliberately chose this specific title.

Meghan’s involvement in the cookbook project goes beyond her recipe contribution.

She generously donated to World Central Kitchen, but with one stipulation – she wanted to have control over how her name was presented.

Some critics argue that her request reflects a level of pretentiousness, as other contributors are listed by their first names.

However, Meghan’s choice to be referred to as “the Duchess” adds an air of ambiguity, distinguishing her from other Duchesses such as Sophie or Fergie.

Furthermore, the name “lemon olive oil cake” may not sound particularly appetizing at first, but it gained attention two years ago when Meghan baked the cake with lemons from her own garden for female restaurateurs in Chicago.

Recently, there has been speculation surrounding Meghan’s relationship with Chef Jose Andres.

It was noted that Andres attended the Earthshot event as a prominent guest, where he chaired a conversation among the 2022 finalists.

Some speculate that Meghan’s diminishing involvement with World Central Kitchen may be linked to her shifting support towards Prince William, rather than Prince Archibald.

Reports suggest that Meghan initially sought out Andres to collaborate on charity activities in Florida.

While Andres initially praised Meghan’s humanitarian intentions, their partnership soured when she requested a film crew from Archwell Productions to document their work.

Andres deemed this request unnecessary, as his company already had a dedicated communications staff to handle social media marketing.

Consequently, Meghan’s participation in relief efforts seemed to dwindle.

Public opinion regarding these developments has been divided.

Many have expressed gratitude and admiration for Chef Jose Andres and the tireless work of World Central Kitchen during times of crisis.

Twitter has been flooded with messages of appreciation for their dedicated service.

However, Reddit tells a different story, with some questioning the need for extravagant displays from Meghan, such as flaunting jewelry, when the focus should be on the efforts of relief organizations like World Central Kitchen.

They also expressed skepticism regarding the contributions of Archwell Productions.

Comparisons were drawn to past relief efforts, such as World Central Kitchen’s pivotal role in Hurricane Ian.

Throughout these discussions, Meghan and Harry have remained relatively silent.

In a statement, Jose Andres reflected on the journey of World Central Kitchen, highlighting their impactful work in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, their response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and their unwavering commitment to aiding those in need during various global disasters.

The organization’s dedication to providing assistance to communities affected by natural disasters and crises remains steadfast.
